TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): Joe Biden told us recently that the single gravest terror threat we face is not Islamic terrorism, ISIS or Al-Qaeda as the government has told us for 20 years now since 2001.
It's not the brutal mobs of race extremists who burned and looted our cities last time, or BLM and Antifa, as, if you had been paying attention you would assume it would be -- of course, they are the ones who burned the cities.
No, it's none of that. The main threat we face as a nation, Biden told us, is white supremacy, white American terrorists, and our law enforcement and intelligence agencies have concluded that.
The president said it's an established fact, and then he stopped. Strangely, that's all that Biden told us. He never said who those white supremacists were. Didn't explain what they believe, or what they plan to do to America.
He announced no arrests of any of them. He didn't name a single person or organization, so who is the white Osama Bin Laden? Joe Biden didn't say. Neither did his attorney general Merrick Garland when he reiterated Biden's claim several days later.
So, the rest of us were left to wonder who exactly are these domestic terrorists? We still don't know the answer, and neither do many longtime FBI agents as we learned this week and we spoke to a couple of them.
Biden's claim is absurd, they told us. It's not even close to true.
In recent years, there have been so few crimes committed by avowed white supremacists that the FBI strongly consider dismantling the office within the domestic terrorist division that investigates white supremacist groups.
As the agents we spoke to put it, the number of cases the program manager had didn't justify his position, there was nothing for him to do.
For decades, by contrast, the greatest domestic terror threat has come from radical environmental groups. They commit the most crimes, look it up.
White supremacists, meanwhile, are at the bottom of that list, and federal statistics prove it. Americans are in fact much more likely to die of a lightning strike that at the hands of a white supremacist.
White supremacy may be ugly, many opinions are, but it is not a meaningful threat to the nation and claiming otherwise is a lie.
So, why does the Biden administration persist in telling that lie? Well, it's a racial attack, obviously.
